Hello Everyone! I am looking for some guidance on some trouble I am experiencing with my lapband. I was banded in October 2007. Everything went fine. Then a few months later I started having trouble keeping anything down. This past year and a half has been miserable. I can hardly keep anything down. I can't pinpoint which food work and dont work for me. I have had fills and unfills. Everytime I go in I am told it is my fault. Even with throwing up all the time, I have only lost around 25lbs. I cant believe that is all with the little I eat. I really think something is wrong inside, but cant seem to get any help. I am going to my doctor this week for one last chance that he might help me. Does anyone out there have any advice or help for me. I am so frustrated and depressed that it hasnt worked for me. Any help would be apprediated.

Thanks for responding. The doctor said I could not be chewing long enough, eating too fast, etc. Believe me I have been very careful to take my time. I sometimes take as long as an hour and longer, but it just comes back up. These past few weeks have really gotten bad. I cant even sit with my family and enjoy a meal without running to the bathroom to throw it up. My kids and husband are frustrated with it also.

I have been banded almost 2 years and have done the same thing. I have thrown up almost everytime I have eaten anything. He tells me its my fault and that i am not doing the right things. Even though I throw up all the time, my weight remains the same. I have only lost around 25lbs. I dont know what to do.
